My Working and Certified directories are different. Can
I force a reboot from the Working directory?
Yes. If its configuration and image files are known to be reli-
able, you can override the default and initiate a reboot from the
/flash/working directory. This is done via the reload work-
ing command. For more information, refer to your
OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
